Mundaka moves from Auckland to lifestyle living in Raglan        
What Worked:
Pets on the Net

"Thanks to your wonderful web site, Pets on the Net, I was able to find a new home for my 10 month old Boxer X puppy!

I was devastated to hear that we had to move due to our landlords relocating. They were happy having our baby, Mundaka, on the property with us. I tried for months to find a new rental that will allow dogs, but we all know what Auckland is like with dogs and rentals! So I had to deal with the fact that I had to give my baby up for adoption. My last resort was the SPCA - for fear of euthanasia. I then placed an ad on Pets On The Net and got a response within two weeks!

They answered my ad. I placed a free ad twice. The first responses were unsuccessful, but then I placed the ad again the following week. We emailed a few times and I was happy with what I read.

I live in Auckland and they live on a farm in the Waikato, near Raglan. Luckily they had planned a trip to Auckland the weekend I was going to move, so they picked him up. I had a very small garden, but walked him everyday. He is a very energetic dog and loved runs in Woodhill forest - where I took him once a week. So a farm with lots of space is ideal. I couldn't have asked for a better home for him. I will plan a visit in a month or so - give him enough time to settle.

So, Mundaka is now living on a farm with a wonderful family and plenty of space to run around and play. I was very sad to give him up, but knowing that he is happy makes me happy. The family who have adopted him say he is enjoying the open space and so far he has adjusted well.

Thanks again. It is a wonderful service. Well done!
Best wishes

Pack of puppies rehomed through German Shepherd Rescue and Pets on the Net in 24 hours!
Denise of German Shepherd Rescue 
Remember the puppy ad I put on about the abandoned puppy?  Ended up to be 7 of them.  5 of the homes came via Pets on the Net.  6 of the puppies had homes by 6.45pm on Monday night, just over 24 hours after being in care and the 7th puppy is off to her new home tomorrow morning.

A farm worker found them in a ditch on the way to work last Tuesday, at Ruawai.  He investigated what he thought was a black mound.  On closer look he discovered the mound was puppies.  They were very thin and very cold.  He bundled them up and took them home where he made a temporary play pen with a covered area.  He made a few phone calls and was given my number.   By some quirk of fate I already had a scheduled trip to Maungataroto last Sunday to place a Shepherd I had collected from the pound, whose owner had not bothered to come and get him, into his new home and Ruawai was about half an hour further.  So went up with 1 Shepherd and came home with 7!!. All were car sick on the way home so big bath time in the paddle pool when we got back

I had put the ad about the pups on Pets on the Net on either the Friday or Saturday and when I got home on Sunday I already had enquires about them.  Also I had a few on a waiting list for pups that had come through Pets on the Net also.  One of the pups didn't travel too well and was decidedly ill so off to the vet for her for tummy settling medication and a loan of another crate to keep her separate.  Next morning she was bright and breezy.  Monday was a busy day with one pup being driven to Mercer by 11am, back to Auckland for 1pm 'viewing' up to vet for puppy checks, vaccinations and weighing, 2 more went home Monday evening.  Two are left with me waiting for transport to their homes, one going to Gisborne and hitching a ride on the 20th, the other going Monday when new Dad gets back from Australia.

All pups are adjusting well into their new homes and all have very agreeable temperaments.

PS: Forgot to mention the Sunday of all the drama also happened to be my birthday. So what better thing to give to the German Shepherd Rescue lady for her birthday but 7 German Shepherd Puppies - (one for everyday of the week lol). What is amazing is the absolutey terrific people that answer the petsonthenet.co.nz ads. From all walks of life, families with just Dad working and a stay at home mother, to solicitors and doctors, all use your website medium to find that special pet.  Not one objects to home checks or followups (mind you if they didn't they wouldn't get a goldfish off me) and they are really great in providing photo updates, Denise.


Abandoned kittens rehomed
What Worked: Pets on the Net

Just to let you know that the last one of our bunch of 7 abandoned kittens/cats leaves us for her new home on Sunday. Needless to say I am very relieved that they all (including mum - who has already had her operation and shots) have new homes. I have had several calls from your website with the last kitten going to someone who saw the ad on your
site.

Thank you for all your help and support (more than I got from the local vets) it's nice to know someone else cares.

Kindest Regards

Beagle rehomed in 48 hours
What Worked: Pets on the Net
Due to my ad on "Pets on the Net" we found a lovely new home for the Beagle. He was an abondoned dog that we took in as we already have a beagle but, with us all working full-time in this household, and with him needing a bit more training, it all became a bit difficult. I only had my ad on petsonthenet.co.nz for 48 hours and got a phone call from a lovely lady, who came to see him the next day and was so thrilled with him.

I wouldn't have let him go to anything but a nice home as he was a lovely
little lad!!

Thanks for the chance to advertise on your web-site. We kept in touch with Trish who adopted our Beagle for a little while afterwards and she just adores him.  I am such an animal lover that I even told her that if he didn't work out with her family, she was to give me a ring and I would take him back until I could find another home for him.  But, I am very pleased to say that all worked out marvellously and from all accounts he is very loved and quite spoiled.  Just what an animal, any animal, should be.

Shady (ex Dog Protection Society)  
Thanks again  petsonthenet.co.nz, we have had two very successful adoptions from your web site in the last two weeks.

Firstly Shady was placed in a new home on Tuesday after the owners had searched the net for...adopt a dog auckland..They came up with your site, noticed the photos of Shady. Emailed us, I rang them and within three hours Shady was being shampooed, blow dried and on her way to her new home.

Secondly Tyson..we advertised him as a special dog needing a special family.........that's what he got...The most special family arrived saw him and off they went.
